The City of New Orleans is working on synchronizing traffic lights; where do we need synchronizing the most?

from The Scoot Show with Scoot

A retired police officer who posted a meme mocking President Trump after the murder of Charlie Kirk has reportedly won a major settlement after he was sentenced to jail over the post. Is this a victory for freedom of speech, even when the speech is ugly, offensive, or badly timed? An American doctor contracted the deadly Ebola virus while overseas, as the virus continues spreading in parts of Africa. He is not in the United States, but does a story like this make you worry about Ebola reaching America, or do you trust that public health officials can keep it contained? President Trump’s poll numbers on the economy have hit a record-breaking low. How much do you blame the president for inflation, and how much do you think any president actually controls the cost of living? In 1965, TIME magazine published an article arguing that rock ’n’ roll was not just a fad but a powerful cultural force. More than 60 years later, rock music is still with us. Why do you think rock ’n’ roll lasted, and what does it have that other musical trends don’t?
